I just sold my truck and I'm looking to buy another truck and I was wondering if any other owner operators have bought these Glider Kits they seem like a great deal don't have to worry about that emissions crap anymore

If I was in the market , I would be checking them out.
NinjaWax Thanks this. -
I just bought one Monday. They are bare bones and not sure how well maintained but mine is fairly low mileage and cheap enough I can make it what I want. So far I'm pleased. But some miles down the road we will see??
ChicagoJohn and NinjaWax Thank this. -
I was reading you're post after I posted this guy I'm talking to is named Eric he said make a offer did you do that I was thinking offering like 39000 for a 45000 truck and see what they say then go back and fourth on price trucks have low 400k on them not looking at any thing over 485k

Where r u? I dealt with him he is in Wisconsin.

I will be buying out of the Harrisburg PA yard I live in the Eastern panhandle of WV was also thinking of turning up up to 450 for a little more pull on the hills

I pull for a Canadian company they treat me very well -
Ya. I'm going to leave mine stock for now but if it's working good in the spring take it to diesel spec for a custom tune

I used to have one as a company driver http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...uying-a-schneider-glider.321953/#post-5402993
Basically, they're kinda skimpy on maintenance, so plan on throwing a few bucks in it. But the DD60 is a reliable engine. Good basic choice for an O/ONinjaWax Thanks this. -
I would definitely go with a gliderange the series 60 is a great dependable motor. Only thing I would say is 40k seems touch high. I just bought a 13 386 that's loaded and has 17k in add ons (trip pack, and another thing I need for my specialized hauling.) 485k miles. I paid 41k. I realize I have emissions to deal with but for 4500$ I can have deleted and only have 45.5k into it.
